Scottish Water - Top up taps
A network of high-tech public water refill points is to be introduced across the country to encourage people to top up from the tap using refillable bottles.
The project will see Scottish Water Top up Taps installed in around 30 towns and cities over the next two years.
Edinburgh has been selected as the first location with the capital’s new Top up Tap to be located outside the Scottish Parliament.
Scottish Water plans to work with every local authority to identify suitable locations. The aim is to have the first ten Top up Taps installed by the end of March 2019.
Each unit will be plumbed into the public water supply and fitted with technology which will enable them to digitally track water usage at each spot, transmitting the data via cloud technology to the specialists managing Scotland’s water networks.
Data loggers inside will provide information which can be translated into cost and plastic savings and the volume of water used.
